[Order 16-36-Filed March 4, 2016, 2:02 p.m., effective April 2, 2016]
Effective Date of Rule: April 2, 2016.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules in the Klickitat River.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-19500V; and amending WAC 220-310-195.
Under RCW
34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.
Reasons for this Finding: This emergency rule is needed to correct an error in the permanent rule. This emergency rule filing is consistent with the department of fish and wildlife's Washington sport fishing rules pamphlet. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
